Fans will be eager to catch a glimpse of the cast - and to work out whether this will be the end of Jodie Whittaker, the most recent Doctor.

A series of specials have been filmed to cap off Series 13, with the final one due to air in October to mark the BBC's centenary celebrations featuring David Tennant and his companion Catherine Tate.

Bristol was also used to film series 1 and 2 of Stephen Merchant's comedy series The Outlaws.
